Recipes tagged with pancakes

These fluffy buttermilk pancakes are the gold standard of weekend breakfasts. The combination of baking powder and baking soda with buttermilk creates an airy, tender crumb with a slight tang that makes them special. The one rule that separates great pancakes from flat ones: don't overmix the batter. A few lumps are fine — overmixing develops gluten and deflates those precious air bubbles. Letting the batter rest 5 minutes before cooking also helps the leavening work its magic.
